About Kushmanda Sarowor Triveni Dham
EN
Kushmanda Sarowor Triveni Dham is located in Ward No. 9 of Hetauda Sub-Metropolitan City, Makwanpur District, at the sacred confluence of the Ratnavati (Rapti), Karnavati (Karra), and Kushbahini (Kubreni) rivers. According to the Skanda Purana, the five Pandavas visited this holy site during the end of the Dwapara Yuga to perform religious rituals, bathe, and offer prayers. Although the site lost its historical prominence over time, it was revived and officially named Kushmanda Sarowor Triveni Dham on September 8, 2009 (Bhadra 23, 2066 BS). The Dham is regarded as the abode of Goddess Kushmanda Bhagawati, the fourth form of Navadurga. Major religious events include the month-long Makar Mela during Makar Sankranti and Kushmanda Navami. The site features a Bhagawati Temple, Kushmanda Lake with boating facilities, 108 Gaumukhi stone spouts, and a Shesh Naag statue. It is easily accessible from Hetauda Bazaar and offers tea and snack stalls for visitors.
